Dollymarie Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Hi all, On football season eve, another Red has sadly passed away. Beezer (Martin Bees) was diagnosed with terminal cancer during the close season, and sadly passed away in St Peters Hospice yesterday evening. He was secretary of the SC&T and a very familiar face around the ground. I’m sure people will recognise him from the pictures below. From a personal perspective, he was my football dad, and in many ways had been more of a dad to me than my actual one, in recent years. Funeral details to be announced in due course. Night night Beezer x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Very sad news. I didn’t know him personally, but from the pictures I recognise him - probably from being in the SC&T bar. RIP fellow red and condolences to his family and friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlered Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Used to sit in front of us in the atyeo and then the south stand. Only ever spoke to him a few times but he had a cracking sense of humour and would chat to anyone. Almost seemed part of the furniture. RIP mate.

Admin phantom Posted August 2, 2019 Admin Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Like @littlered said above, I got to know him from sitting in the Atyeo stand many years ago, but got to know him more and more from drinking in the SC&T bar Always stopped and said "Hello". He was a true gentleman RIP Now lets beat Leeds in his memory !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave L Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 That is terribly sad news. I got to know Beezer well during my time as SLO. A genuinely lovely, kind man. I used to call into the SC&T bar as part of my pre-game matchday rounds, and even though he knew I was 'on duty', he was always trying to buy me a pint. I'll raise a glass to him tonight. Please let me know about the funeral arrangements Marie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 That's a dissapointing bit of news at this time of year, used to sit in front of me in the Atyeo and then the SS always happy to say hello, occasionally saw him on the news coming out of the court rooms (representing someone) instantly recognisable. A big loss to the Bristol City family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Sad news........I only heard yesterday that Martin was seriously ill and now he’s passed, what a shocker. I new him really well with him being a Nailsea resident and would frequently chat with him in the SC&B before games. I’m gonna miss him especially on a matchday.

the red rules Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Only ever shared a few quips with him over the years. But a very big prescence in all ways and a recognisable figure, to me, for many years. He will be missed by a lot of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
